Ed Carpenter Racing confirmed on Saturday morning that team owner Ed Carpenter will call the strategy for Christian Rasmussen in the No.21 Splenda Chevrolet for today’s Sonsio Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the IMS road course.
Rasmussen will start today’s race from deep in the field in 19th, following a time of 01:10.2543s, and speaking following qualifying, he said:
That was a frustrating qualifying session. I didn’t maximize my lap as best I could. The lockup I had in practice was still on my mind a bit and I lost all of my time in Turn 7 alone. Everywhere else, it was pretty good! The No. 21 Splenda Chevrolet is strong, I just need to execute better in qualifying. The bright side is we still have two sets of new reds for the race and that will help us.”
